Tried to work on fixing message string bug

+## Chat server
+This is a simple, barely-working chat server (which uses a custom protocol). It is written in C, and relies on BSD sockets.
+
+##Usage
+To use it, compile the program with `make`.
+
+
+
+
+TODO:
+-  Finish README
+-  Implement password authentication
+-  Fix bugs with message string manipulation (the actual message isn't being stored correctly, and contains extra characters).
+-  Do additional testing to ensure that everything works correctly (it probably doesn't).
